Five Forks Wordle List Cloud

Feedback Request: Dynamic Filter

I am testing a new dynamic search/filter method that should be both easier to use and more functional than the current search button method.

It is currently on MAIN and BLOCK list for testing.

There is no button or navigation arrows. You just start typing!

This example is from BLOCK, but MAIN is similar. There is an “@” search on main that shows all repeats.

In the example above, I typed “GA” and any word with “GA” in it is found and the GA is underlined in red. There are 19 matches. On the BLOCK list, repeat words are highlighted in yellow, so we see our old friend CIGAR #0.

You can use a “?” as a wildcard character(s).

In the example above I narrowed the search to words starting with GA by adding the three wildcard ??? at the end. There are 9 matches.

Here I’ve forced the GA in positions 3 and 4. There are 5 matches:

Give it a try on know what you think.

Thanks! — Jeb

    I love this enhancement but please don’t disable the list if it takes off.

    this is absolutely awesome, thank you!
    i always play the game using the letter “X” as a placeholder for the unknown letters, always wishing the developers would introduce a placeholder character on the board. what you have done here is a powerful and very welcome tool. kudos!

    Game Changer Jeb!
    The gloves are off now πŸ˜„

  6. This is awesome and is going to be a real game changer. Thanks !

  7. I like it. I searched for ???ER because I’ve read somewhere that it’s a common pattern in Wordle words. I saw 101 results but none of them were repeats. I wonder if that will make this pattern more (or less) likely to repeat in the future.

    Thanks for always innovating the search ability function! I’ve been using the iPhone β€œfind in page” feature to quickly try out words or parts of words – using this site. This new feature appears to replicate that functionality -and more!

  9. Similar to scrabble wordfinder site that I use
    but fun idea to outwit reusing burnt words
    I like it !!
